The day looks bad due to rain forecast so we decided to bus to town again, because the 20 past the hour did not come last time we went for the 10 to the hour !!! this one did not arrive, interesting on reaching the next stop the driver got out for a cigarette interesting.
Had a walkabout in town we are now on site waiting to leave as late as possible next site 1400 arrival time and only a 30 mins. drive.
Walk into Huntley for coffee before leaving. A good drive up through lovely countryside. Raining when we arrived so a short walk into town.

The view from the site
Lovely day great views from the site cycle down to Nethybridge for coffee and cake only a 10 mile cycle. Had to replace a battery in the sensor on Maureen’s electric assist. Changed the back brakes on my bike also as it was a lovely day. In the afternoon a walkabout at the shops spotted the most exciting tourist attraction here Draughts!
Coffee and walkabout up to Cowie Kirk before leaving Stonehaven.
A good drive up stopping for shopping at Tesco Huntly. Had a walk into town to get the feel of things.
22 July 2023 Huntly
Walk into town via Huntly Castle had a coffee at a large shortbread manufactures in Huntly and whilst doing our never go down the same street twice got talking to a lovely couple with a fab garden.
Into Broughty Ferry for a walkabout before we leave for Stonehaven noticed another Barometer thingy like the one in Stone haven. Came across a lovely little doggy made from wellies.
A good journey up to Stonehaven in the afternoon a walkabout to see the changes and the poor seagulls dead on the beach.

The circus is in town and it was good to see them putting the tent up.
Caught the train up into Aberdeen 21 mins. had a good walk about for an hour or so. Not much Graffiti.
Got back to awful rain so got a taxi back from the train station to the site and later in the afternoon a town walkabout.
An interesting day today (we tend to use this word to replace F###) It started well by catching the train into Dundee while waiting I counted how many seconds it took for a 12 coach train to pass me 5 seconds they seem to be going so fast if you stood over the yellow line you would probably be killed.
A good walkabout in town exploring a few streets stopping for or usual coffee. We got back to the train station in time but the train had been cancelled due to bad rain and the next train was 2 hours later. We found that a bus went from the bus station to Monifieth but after spending some time in the bus station and there been no help or ticket offices open we found out the bus stop labeled BUS STATION was outside the bus station on the road. (Interesting). On arrival at the stop we had just missed one.
On returning to the site we tried to get a refund for our return tickets costing £9.90 but would have to send them via post registered and after taking a £7 cancelation fee we would get the balance into our account. (Interesting)
A good day out.
